69b5d0b2a5adb49a53e51f9da6848eaa484242fe by Derek Mauro <dmauro@google.com>:

Changes the absl::Duration factory functions to disallow types that
are convertible to int or double, instead requiring that the argument
itself is indeed an integer or a floating-point number. This will
prevent callers from passing arguments, such as std::atomic<T>.

This change is an API break. Information and a tool to fix issues
can be found at
https://abseil.io/docs/cpp/tools/upgrades/duration-conversions

786063e438ab6a55ac4baa88ad4d20a8293be52a by Evan Brown <ezb@google.com>:

Make ctrl_t be an enum class.

This adds type safety, and also when strict aliasing is enabled, the compiler will know that control bytes can't alias non-control bytes.

Also make H2() return h2_t.

7e537aabec1c255d6e7c9d21232c597c1c2077bf by Evan Brown <ezb@google.com>:

Add some missing `const` keywords to ctrl_t* function parameters.

da53ac6d91cabd951e81dd0a145e1e52b918955f by Martijn Vels <mvels@google.com>:

Change Seek and InitOffset to return nullptr instead of assert / fail.

This makes it consistent with the rest of the API (Next, Previous, Skip) and hardens it against invariants that are harder (or less likey) to be upheld correctly by the caller.

9530c795248543817cbc4013953baa09c35f5e1a by Abseil Team <absl-team@google.com>:

Fix incorrect header guard in cord_rep_btree_navigator.h

90ce5872406df2b7f4c428683741dc13a572267e by Abseil Team <absl-team@google.com>:

Small grammar fixes for some StatusCode descriptions.

b30a2fd777f12a04a4d512f37a34614b0d05ce99 by Derek Mauro <dmauro@google.com>:

Skip length checking when constructing absl::string_view from std::string.
The length check causes unnecessary code bloat.

Abseil - C++ Common Libraries

The repository contains the Abseil C++ library code. Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ code (compliant to C++11) designed to augment the C++ standard library.

About Abseil

Abseil is an open-source collection of C++ library code designed to augment the C++ standard library. The Abseil library code is collected from Google's own C++ code base, has been extensively tested and used in production, and is the same code we depend on in our daily coding lives.

In some cases, Abseil provides pieces missing from the C++ standard; in others, Abseil provides alternatives to the standard for special needs we've found through usage in the Google code base. We denote those cases clearly within the library code we provide you.

Abseil is not meant to be a competitor to the standard library; we've just found that many of these utilities serve a purpose within our code base, and we now want to provide those resources to the C++ community as a whole.

Quickstart

If you want to just get started, make sure you at least run through the Abseil Quickstart. The Quickstart contains information about setting up your development environment, downloading the Abseil code, running tests, and getting a simple binary working.

Building Abseil

Bazel and CMake are the official build systems for Abseil.

See the quickstart for more information on building Abseil using the Bazel build system.

If you require CMake support, please check the CMake build instructions and CMake Quickstart.

Support

Abseil is officially supported on many platforms. See the Abseil platform support guide for details on supported operating systems, compilers, CPUs, etc.

Codemap

Abseil contains the following C++ library components:

  • base Abseil Fundamentals
    The base library contains initialization code and other code which all other Abseil code depends on. Code within base may not depend on any other code (other than the C++ standard library).
  • algorithm
    The algorithm library contains additions to the C++ <algorithm> library and container-based versions of such algorithms.
  • cleanup
    The cleanup library contains the control-flow-construct-like type absl::Cleanup which is used for executing a callback on scope exit.
  • container
    The container library contains additional STL-style containers, including Abseil's unordered “Swiss table” containers.
  • debugging
    The debugging library contains code useful for enabling leak checks, and stacktrace and symbolization utilities.
  • hash
    The hash library contains the hashing framework and default hash functor implementations for hashable types in Abseil.
  • memory
    The memory library contains C++11-compatible versions of std::make_unique() and related memory management facilities.
  • meta
    The meta library contains C++11-compatible versions of type checks available within C++14 and C++17 versions of the C++ <type_traits> library.
  • numeric
    The numeric library contains C++11-compatible 128-bit integers.
  • status
    The status contains abstractions for error handling, specifically absl::Status and absl::StatusOr<T>.
  • strings
    The strings library contains a variety of strings routines and utilities, including a C++11-compatible version of the C++17 std::string_view type.
  • synchronization
    The synchronization library contains concurrency primitives (Abseil's absl::Mutex class, an alternative to std::mutex) and a variety of synchronization abstractions.
  • time
    The time library contains abstractions for computing with absolute points in time, durations of time, and formatting and parsing time within time zones.
  • types
    The types library contains non-container utility types, like a C++11-compatible version of the C++17 std::optional type.
  • utility
    The utility library contains utility and helper code.

Releases

Abseil recommends users “live-at-head” (update to the latest commit from the master branch as often as possible). However, we realize this philosophy doesn't work for every project, so we also provide Long Term Support Releases to which we backport fixes for severe bugs. See our release management document for more details.
